How can we help?

We can help with practical advice for actions you might take in the next 12 months or so. This starts with a conversation with a GLH expert

You decide whether you want to buy or rent a home for your loved one, or want them to continue to live in the family home

We help you arrange the right support.

Mencap Trust Company and GLH build a relationship with the beneficiary and their support team to make sure things continue to work, year after year, as the beneficiary’s needs and ambitions change. Your plan can be updated at any time, to make sure it continues to suit your loved one.

How can the trust help with supported living?

First, your loved one will require a needs assessment – carried out by their local social services department – which determines their personal support requirements. Once this assessment has been carried out, GLH can work with you and your loved one.

Mencap Trust Company will work with the important people in your loved one’s life to make sure assessments are reviewed as required. The trustee can also help by paying for ‘extras’ to make life more enjoyable.
